In my latest BLUNT video, "Answer THIS, Paul Ryan," I included clips from The Rachel Maddow Show in which she discussed Paul Ryan's dedication to "personhood" as was made painfully obvious by his co-sponsorship of a federal "personhood" (not to mention forced vaginal ultrasound) bill.

You are probably more than aware that Democrats, as well as the GOP, are all over Todd Akin over his despicable, ignorant, and illegitimate remarks about how victims of “legitimate rape” have magical physiological lady powers that prevent them from getting pregnant.

Well, as it turns out, political assaults on women and co-sponsoring are Ryan-Akin common denominators. Via Think Progress:

With a voting record like Ryan's, why does anyone with any common sense feel he's capable or worthy of representing us in any position, let alone one heartbeat away from the top job as POTUS? DG

Still, I think the core of the outrage we hear is the result of the middle class starting to be treated by the rich the way the poor have been treated the middle class. Those with power over you are calling all the shots, and those who are calling all the shots do not regard you as a complete and equal human being.

The Political Carnival is a fast paced Progressive political site that combines humor with dead serious, dementia with politics (synonymous?), and sprinkles in idiosyncratic posts with breaking news.
